The Overview



In response to Friday Fictioneer, Apr 27 2018 (https://rochellewisoff.com/)




"Is this a joke? I need scenic overview shots of the hiking trail", my manager stormed into my cubicle.

He sat on the chair opposite to me with his flesh bulging out a bit on the sides.


"I hike here every weekend and I sent my favorite spot", I responded surprised.


"4 legs, rough skin,  open mouth, smoke, green fur."


"The image scanner app concluded that?"


"Yes. Did you upload a picture of an insect?", he asked.


"No." I swiped through my pictures in cellphone and stopped at an amazing shot.


"You get the best sunset view here", I responded.

Entertaining story. Ah, the perils of relying too much on software!

Dear Evergreen,

That was quite a mental image of the flesh bulging out the sides. Nicely done.

Shalom,

Rochelle

I'm guessing he had the photo upside down.

Had a hard time getting past that bulging flesh, but once I did I found it well worth the read :)
